There are a bumper number of yachts attending this year's show. A total of 30 yachts are attending, an increase on last year's 20.

A total of nine LYBRA members are attending the show and exhibiting a standout series of yachts including the 88 metre The Maltese Falcon (IYC), Book Ends (Ocean Independence) and Va Bene (Burgess).

Other yachts attending the show include Septimus (Edmiston), Itasca (Fraser) and Spirit (Y.CO).

The Superyacht Show is supported by a number of prestigious partners.

These include Aston Martin, Boutsen Design, BWA Yachting, Mandarin Oriental, Bulgari, the Financial Times, Boat International Media and Breed Media.

Brokers and clients have been entertained by onsite magician Tony Steward and therapist offering relaxing mid-day massages.

The Superyacht Show gives brokers an important opportunity to network with each other and view the yachts on display.

On Wednesday evening, the first day of the show, the winner of the annual Richard Earp award was announced. Fraser's Vassilis Fotilas was announced the winner of the award, which recognises brokers for their exemplary conduct and fair negotiation.
